What are 6 reasons for Genetic testing?
1. Carrier Screening: Identify individuals who are carriers of genetic mutations that can cause genetic disorders in their children.
2. Diagnostic Testing: Confirm a suspected genetic condition or identify the genetic basis of a medical condition.
3. Predictive Testing: Assess an individual's risk of developing a genetic condition based on their genetic makeup.
4. Pharmacogenomics: Personalize medical treatments based on an individual's genetic response to medications.
5. Prenatal Testing: Identify genetic conditions in a developing fetus during pregnancy.
6. Newborn Screening: Detect genetic disorders in newborns soon after birth for early intervention.
